Check the "General Reports" Forum
[QUOTE=CathysClown;1966928]I went to HK last year and paid in american dineros. I was thinking of taking advantage of currency exchange rates and paying in pesos. Does anyone have advice on where to exchange near the border preferably on the American side? Also what kind of range in pesos should I expect for a half hour arriba? Finally, any advice on how to haggle down on a Sunday, (or is this something I can only do with American dollars)?
Thanks.[/QUOTE]There's a lot of discussion about changing money in the "General Reports" forum.
I use an ATM card. If I withdraw small amounts (e. G. 2,000 pesos), I get a rate that's competitive with the money changers, even after all the fees. If I withdraw bigger amounts (7,000), it works out even better. And a lot of the guys are talking about using a Schwab ATM card, whereby the fees are reimbursed.
